GREETINGS FROM MEXICO!
Thank You for your valuable time and for reviewing this wonderful project! My name is LakshmiGrace, I specialize in spiritual and ritual photography as A Shamanic Artist. I am writing you from the lovely land of Teotihuacan, Mexico where I have had the great good fortune to visit for the last 7 weeks. I am in the midst of photographing a book called Sacred Sights ~ Mexico. This is a wonderful fusion of art and spirituality. This combination is designed to share the indigenous medicine of the sacred rituals, the holy lands and amazing people of wonderful Mexico. I share this ancient medicine to remind the world of the truth of our existence. The truth that we are perfect, that we are GOD! Teotihuacan translates to: Where humans become God! I like to think its a place where we remember that we already are that! The book is designed to be a power object that will cary the medicine and wisdom of these ancient lands and people. This series is designed to create a portal to this ancient wisdom. When you have access to this medicine it inspires and creates an awakening to the divine spiritual energy and love that you are. I look forward to bringing this book to you!
This fund raising campaign is for the continuation of this amazing spiritual art project. The first successful campaign brought in $1500. This amount begin this project and I have been here for nearly two months photographing the rituals of Mexico, and beautiful Teotihuacan. The imagery so far has been amazing and I look forward to continuing documenting this spiritual quest in Palenque, Yaxchilan, Cholula, Coba, Tulum, Oxmal and many more sacred lands. I am working with an indiginious guide who is amazing. He has connections with many indigenous tribes across Southern Mexico. We will begin traveling mid March. At this point, additional funding is very important for the book to continue. Every donation allows us to continue to the next sacred site. We have 15 journeys to make. The funding from this campaign will support our travel, accomidations and photographic documentation. The funding will also bring this book to life by supporting the design, layout, printing, and publishing costs. I would love to have you along on the adventure. Would you like to be a part of this wonderful book that will astound and spark the world? Here are the details about Sacred Sights ~ Mexico!
In Love,
LakshmiGrace
ABOUT SACRED SIGHTS:
I am offering a series of photographic art books that capture the beauty and majestic quality of sacred sites and ritual centers across the globe. The books will capture and document the land, high spiritual energy, the people and the intended ritual for each site. There will be a book for each sacred place. There will be 100 in the series. The Sacred Sights ~ Mexico book is the first in the series; it's just the beginning. I will continue with the same high quality, artistic photographic book for Machu Pichu, Peru; Giza, Egypt; New Zealand/ Australia; Africa and India to name a few. Would you like to be part of this? Your offering would be of great service and allow these wonderful books to come to manifest as well as the fulfillment of my 10 year dream to bring them to YOU!
THE MEXICO PROJECT ~ THE FIRST BOOK:
Sacred Sights ~ Mexico is the first book in the Sacred Sights series. I am in Mexico now photographing the land and sacred rituals of Teotihuacan, the mother city and spiritual university of the Toltec people. I have such a strong affinity for the wisdom of the Toltecas and have found great freedom, after 17 years, with these brilliant earth based practices; they have transformed my life. I would love to share this with you. The book begins with the celebration of the end of the Mayan calendar with don Miguel Ruiz. Miguel states, "Mythology says, this is the end of the world, truth is, this day is like New Year's Eve." The photography depicts and shares this very special celebration of one era ending and a new one, based in truth and awakening for humanity, beginning. This starts the Sacred Sights ~ Mexico book and from there the images of Teotihuacan and the neighboring towns are stunning. I look forward to sharing this journey with YOU!
THE INSPIRATION FOR SACRED SIGHTS:
Offering inspiring imagery though photography has been a deep passion of mine for 27 years. It is an art that I will practice and share for my entire life. I am a visionary, photography is how I teach and I share what I see and what I know. In addition to this beautiful art, I have been teaching and offering healing work in Toltec Shamanism, Reiki, Yoga and studying the Hindu practices for over 17 years. The Sacred Sights series merges my love for spirituality with the beautiful passion I have for photography. Spirituality + Photography = a wonderful and inspiriting series of photographic art work. The Sacred Sights series is designed to share that merger with humanity. These book are for you! They are to inspire you to begin or continue on you own path of self discovery and to find the truth of your own perfection and divinity within. I am in service to you with these books!
THE BIG PICTURE
Eventually, my goal is to guide the Spiritual Journeys that I am photographing. On these special Journeys, I will offer the Wisdom of the Toltec People as well as Hindu Wisdom, incorporating yoga, meditation, mantra and other Hindu practices. The Sacred Sites series will artistically document these transformative and spiritual adventures. The art books will record the journey so all may encounter the same expansive and enlightening experiences the trips offer. The images will open a portal for all to find the sacred quality, high vibration, energy, and beauty that each unique ritual and sacred site offers. The Sacred Sights series is designed to awaken the viewer. The art books will bring you to the truth of your existence; we are perfect beings of light, of god. They are a reminder for all of humanity to awaken and live life in the highest connection to divinity, to source. The Sacred Sights Series is designed to spark, inspire and astound the world. It would be an honor to have you along on this adventure!
